Purple Drink

I can't really think of a name for this concoction. It turns out deep purple so "Purple Drink" it is. This is really delicious and is packed with good stuff!

1 cup frozen sweet cherries
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup Chobani Greek yogurt (vanilla)
1 cup Coconut Milk
1 Banana
1 tsp ground flax seed

put all in the blender until smooth. You can add more or less coconut milk depending on how thick you like your drink.

Cheers to your health!!

Super Green Smoothie Recipe

Here is a recipe that is actually for the juicer, but I have tried it in my wonderful and fabulous Vitamix Blender and found that I like it better in the blender. SO, here it is. This recipe makes approx 2 large smoothies.

3-4 medium leafs of Kale rinsed
1 Small Handful of spinach rinsed
2 small apples, cut and cored (remember don't eat the seeds!)
1/2 cucumber
1 tsp ginger root
1/2 cup of water
1 lemon peeled and seeded

And to make it a bit sweeter, you can add a handful of green grapes!
Also, if you make more than you can drink, you can keep it in the fridge for 2 days! So CHEERS to your health!!

Skinny Green Tropical Smoothie

Lately I have been on a smoothie kick. I make 1-2 smoothies a day. I feel as though its better to blend all of these good things together and drink them raw than cooking them and reducing the vitamin content. And Kannon LOVES a smoothie. Today I came across this recipe and tried it. It was one of the best green smoothies I have tried yet! I did make some changes to it though. I used a tablespoon of coconut oil (yes that is weird but it has good fats in it). And water instead of coconut milk and shredded coconut. So, I since I loved it so much, I figured others may enjoy it too! So CHEERS to your health! And thanks Skinny Taste for the great recipe. I love this blog!!
